We're starting off 2026 with some significant changes taking effect across Oklahoma today. A major overhaul of the state's criminal justice system is now in place.

If funding runs out, many of our federal services could see delays, affecting everything from Social Security offices on South Lewis to VA support near the Hillcrest corridor.

This week’s local weather looks more pleasant...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, September 13. We’ve got plenty to cover, so let’s start with breaking news out of downtown. Tulsa’s new graffiti cleanup program is ramping up efforts to keep our city looking sharp. Thanks to a $250,000 federal grant, crews have already cleaned over 40 properties, with more than 100 still waiting their turn. City hall just allocated even more funds to fight graffiti—an extra hundred thousand dollars for next year, and contractors are equipped with new paint-matching trailers and more staff. Mayor Monroe Nichols says this is more than wall cleaning—it’s restoring...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, September 12, 2025.

Let’s start with the breaking news from overnight in southwest Tulsa, where police are investigating a shooting that left eight vehicles damaged near Parkview Terrace Apartments on Santa Fe.

This kind of incident re...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, September 11, 2025. We start today honoring the legacy of courage shown twenty-four years ago. This morning, firefighters and police officers from all over Green Country gathered at First Place Tower downtown to climb 110 flights of stairs, a tribute matching what first responders faced at the World Trade Center on 9/11. The event is always moving. Each participant carried the name and photo of a hero lost that day, and the climb began at exactly 8:46 a.m. Funds raised will help Hydrants of Hope support families facing childhood cancer.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, September 7. We have a lot happening around town today, so let’s jump right in.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, September 6, 2025.

We start our day with a look at city leadership and how it’s shaping real change. Tulsa’s mayor just announced an expansion to the Alternative Response Team, known as ART 2. Starting this weekend, our city’s pairing up firefighters with mental health professionals for seven days a week coverage instead of just four. The mission is to better help our neighbors experiencing homelessness and to make sure everyone in our community has support when they need it. Family and Children Services are on board, and city offici...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for September sixth, twenty twenty-five. We’re waking up to a warm and muggy Saturday, with scattered thunderstorms rolling across the metro. Expect highs in the low nineties, but keep those umbrellas handy since a few storms could be strong late this afternoon.

The big story this morning continues to b...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, September fifth.

As the sun rises over the city, we start today with breaking news that has everyone talking. Governor Kevin Stitt has officially launched Operation SAFE, bringing state troopers and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to clear homeless encampments off state-owned property, mainly underpasses and highway rights-of-way. State officials began issuing warnings yesterday, offering those living in camps either a ride to treatment and housing or, if refused, a ride to jail. The move comes as many Tulsa residents express concerns about public safety, trash accumulation, and how...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, September 4th, 2025.

We wake up today to a season that feels more like fall than summer, with cool breezes drifting through the city after what’s been one of the wettest Tulsa summers on record. News On 6 meteorologist Stephen Nehrenz reports we could see another round of scattered rain today and the coming weekend as two cold fronts push across Green Country. These fronts will bring fall-like temperatures, with the chance for a little more rain, especially if Hurricane Lorena sends any moisture our way. If you’re headed to t...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, August thirty-first, twenty twenty-five. We start with breaking news affecting our Muscogee neighbors: the Muscogee Nation will not allow Freedmen descendants to vote in the upcoming tribal elections this fall. Principal Chief David Hill announced this late Friday, issuing an executive order that halts new citizenship cards until laws are revised. The Muscogee Supreme Court previously ruled that the Treaty of 1866 guarantees Freedmen rights, but with legal procedures unfinished, the Nation says it needs more time, meaning hundreds may miss out on voting this year. Leaders promise to keep daily government...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, August 30, 2025. We start off today with breaking news from city hall, where Tulsa Council members and Muscogee Nation officials have been meeting at Council Oak Comprehensive Healthcare to discuss future housing developments.

Expect more updates on new community housing and potential job openings from these projects in the coming weeks.

Turning to public safety, Tulsa Police are searching for the driver of a Jeep...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, August twenty-ninth, and here’s what’s happening around our city.

Elsewhere at City Hall, discussions about updating Tulsa’s human rights ordinance were postponed, but the council did vote to ease zon...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, August 28, 2025.

We start our morning with news from City Hall. Last night, the Tulsa City Council voted to restrict loitering on medians and sidewalks near high-traffic roads. In a five to three vote, councilors approved new rules making it illegal for anyone to linger on medians less than ten feet wide or be within eighteen inches of traffic, except for the time it takes to cross the road. Fines will be one hundred fifty dollars. Supporters say this will keep everyone safer, especially in busy areas near intersections like 51...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, August twenty fourth. We’re starting with breaking news as the Zink Lake Wave Park remains closed after a tragic drowning earlier this month. River Parks, which manages the pool, will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss safety and determine when or how the pool can reopen. Many folks at the Gathering Place and along Riverside say they support prioritizing safety, even though the closure is disappointing for summer visitors.

Turning to a story of community generosity, yesterday’s sixth annual Downtown Deco event brought hundreds downtown to Sixth and...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, August 23rd.

We start today with major developments at Tulsa City Hall, where ongoing talks between our city and the Muscogee Creek Nation over tribal law enforcement have become a lightning rod for statewide attention. Governor Stitt has formally filed a challenge with the Oklahoma Supreme Court, seeking to block Tulsa’s settlement agreement that would send misdemeanor cases involving tribal citizens to Muscogee courts. Mayor Monroe Nichols is pushing back strongly, calling the governor’s statements divisive and pointing to city data showing that crime is actually down in T...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, August 22, 2025.

Our top story is the ongoing dispute between Governor Kevin Stitt and Mayor Monroe Nichols over tribal jurisdiction here in Tulsa. The governor has filed an emergency request with the Oklahoma Supreme Court, pushing to halt the agreement between Tulsa and the Muscogee Creek Nation. This agreement allows certain cases, mostly municipal offenses for tribal citizens, to be handled in tribal courts rather than city court. Mayor Nichols is standing firm. Yesterday, he said the city remains committed to upholding the agreement, stressing that Tulsans should not be...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, August twenty-first, twenty twenty-five.

We wake up today with breaking news on city government and a story that could change how the laws are handled in our city. Governor Kevin Stitt is asking the Oklahoma Supreme Court to block this summer’s settlement between Tulsa and the Muscogee Creek Nation. That deal lets tribal courts handle some cases, mostly traffic tickets, that Tulsa prosecutors have always handled. The governor says this could create two systems of justice for folks in our city—one for tribal members and one for ever...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, August 16, 2025. Today finds our city starting off with a steamy morning, and a heat advisory already in effect.

We start today with breaking news from north Tulsa. Deputies arrested twenty-four-year-old Jovohn Kadavion Blanke yesterday after a shooting along East Sixty-Seventh Street North. The incident happened late morning with two victims—one man found shot in a yard, his condition still unknown, and another man whose car was hit and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff’s office acted quickly and charges have been filed for shooting with intent to kill and assault with a deadly weapon. While Tulsa police say violent crime is actually down compared to l...

We start with breaking news out of Tulsa County. The resignation of the Emergency Management director, Joe Kralicek, has been officially accepted by the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners after his arrest on child pornography charges. Tony Roda, who has served as the deputy director for the past seven years and played a critical role during the 2019 floods and the 2023 storms, steps in as interim director. City officials assure us that public safety remains their top priority, and the search is on for a permanent executive director, with...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, August tenth, twenty-twenty-five.

We begin today reflecting on the legacy of Detective John Brown, a fixture in Tulsa law enforcement for thirty-five years and known nationwide for his work on the First 48. Detective Brown, who sadly passed away this week after a long fight with cancer, was laid to rest yesterday at Church on the Move. The outpouring of respect from colleagues, family, and community members has been extraordinary. His dedication shaped how justice is done in our city and leaves a strong example for the next generation of...

We hope you are enjoying this sunny start to the weekend, with temperatures already climbing through the low eighties as we kick things off.

The heat continues into tomorrow, staying near one hundred, but a possible breeze Sunday evening may bring some slight relief.

We begin this morning with major headlines from North Tulsa, wher...

Animal control promises another visit and Mayor Monroe Nichols is pushing for tougher fines to address the city’s pet overpopulation problem.

Today’s weather shapes much...

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, August 7th, 2025. We are starting off today with a major development from city hall. Tulsa leaders are pushing forward with the Safe Move Tulsa initiative, a proposed six million dollar investment aimed at rehousing at least 300 unhoused Tulsans over the next year.

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, August first, and we're starting off with several big stories shaping our community today.
